Getting Mouse Position Over An Object?
Jun 27, 2010
I am using VB.NET and I am currently having a problem accurately reading the mouse position. In my code, whenever the user moves the mouse, I want to have two variables store the mouse position's X and Y value, however when I move the mouse over an object such as a picturebox or a label, it will no longer give me the value until I move the pointer off the object onto the form. Are there any methods that will give me the absolute mouse coordinates regardless of whether the mouse is over an object or not?

Right now I have a program in which I'm trying to read the mouse cursor position relative to the window form, but I am currently having a problem. It only works if the mouse is directly over the form, and it will not work if I hold the mouse over an object, such as a label, a command button, or a picturebox. I tried resolving this by adding handle clauses for mousemove over those objects, however, while it works for the label, it doesn't work for the pictureboxes. This is because the pictureboxes are in an array and are defined at runtime.How would I go about resolving this?
code in question
Private Sub Form1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseMove, lblStat.MouseMove
[code]...

Apologies as this has probably been answered a million different times a million different ways already. I'm trying to control the mouse. I wish to move the mouse to a given pixel position (x, y) and cause a click. I don't want this to be limited within a form, as I want to control another application. I'm using VB 2005.

I wanna move mouse postioin(100, 100) on the form. So, I use SetCursorPos(100, 100). but, the position is not of the form. It's the position of My screen. I want to set mouse position 100, 100 of the form T_T.
Can I get the mouse position of the form?

Now I got this "problem"... I'm making an application in Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition with some mouse options, and I was wondering... Do some of you have a clue on how to make the mouse go to on position, right click, move somewhere else, and left click, and then repeat it a X amount of times? The X should have the options to change its value.

I have a label (mylabel1) control that is say size 200 by 200. I then add another label (mylabel2) to it as:
myform1.controls.add(mylabel2)
When the mouse enters mylabel1, I want to say change the backcolor as:
Private Sub mylabel1_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mylabel1.MouseEnter
mylabel1.backcolor = color.red
[Code].....
this works fine except that when the mouse passes over mylabel2 which was added to the controls collection, it fires the mouseleave event for mylabel1. Is there a way to do this without having the mouseleave event of mylabel1 having to be checked against the mouseenter event of mylabel2??
I am ultimately going to have a parent container that has multiple children but I don't want the children to effect my changing colors and effects when the mouse has entered the parent.

I was wondering if there was some function in VB.Net that could change the mouse's position to a certain point, I found this code:
Code:
Declare Function SetCursorPos& Lib "user32" (ByVal p As Point)
'...
dim p as point
p.x = 100

A simple example is: lets say that im trying to make a program that allows you to move the mouse only with the arrows (left/right/up/down) how can i change the position of the mouse on the screen programmatically? If i wanted when you press a button the mouse to change position to X=0,Y=0 of the hole screen/desktop not the window of the form how can i do it? [Code]

If I do the mousedown event in my picturebox, is there a way to calculate the mouse position in relation to the picturebox itself, or will I have to calculate it from the X/Y of the mouse and the X/Y of the picturebox? I can do the latter, just wondering if there's a command for the former.

I know that you can use this code for the position.x of the mouse:
System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position.X
but how will i detect the position.x of the mouse inside the form? i mean counting 0,0 from the edge of the form not the screen...

I've used the search function but couldn't yield any solutions. Sorry if I didn't look hard enough. Anyway, it's just a quick question. How can I find the mouse cursor X and Y co-ordinates relative to the form itself and NOT the screen?

I m making a chart using MS Charts. Now the chart has mark points from where i want to get the coordinates if user clicks on the mark points.
I want interactivity in the chart such that on clicking on the mark points i can retrive the cordinates (x-axis and y-axis) for the mark points.
For example for the graph:-
on clicking on the orange dots or blue dots i want to get the cordinates for that point,

When I right click in a richtextbox, a context menu appears with an option 'get line'. When that is pressed, it should return the line number in which the mouse cursor is in.
I was thinking something like:
Private Sub GetLineToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GetLineToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim intLine As Integer
[Code]....

I have two pictureboxes in my form. When I hover my mouse over Picturebox1, I would like to make picturebox2 visible. Here is what I could not manage: This second picturebox should magnify the photo inside Picturebox1 according to the place of mouse. For an instance, if the mouse pointer is on the upperleft part of the Picturebox1, Picturebox2 should show the magnified status of this upperleft part.

I'm trying to create a hook to monitor the current position of the mouse cursor. Nothing important, I just need to count some pixels during interface design and wanted to learn how to create a hook, so I decided to go for a hard way instead of a sane way.
I've found example code which declares the following function:
<DllImport("User32.dll", CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, _
CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _
Public Overloads Shared Function SetWindowsHookEx _
[Code].....
But Appdomain.GetCurrentThreadID generates the warning: "'Public Shared Function GetCurrentThreadId() As Integer' is obsolete: 'AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadId has been deprecated because it does not provide a stable Id when managed threads are running on fibers (aka lightweight threads). To get a stable identifier for a managed thread, use the ManagedThreadId property on Thread."
I've tried using ManagedThreadID, but that doesn't work. The thread ID returned seems to be the logical thread ID of the thread, as it runs in the .net runtime, rather than the Win32 thread identifier.
Calling the function ith AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadID works, but I really would like to have a "stable identifier" for my thread.
Can someone explain to me whether it is possible to use ManagedThreadID in this context (I assume not) and, if not, the things I need to avoid in order to stop the AppDomain.CurrentThreadID from becoming "unstable"?

I'm trying to move the mouse pointer to a certain position on the screen.I've done the declarations for both the SetCursorPos as well as the mouse_event, however I keep getting a Declaration expected error at this line: SetCursorPos(x,y),Perhaps something is wrong with the project or vb as well, cause I used an other declaration as well and when I wanted to use that I also got a Declaration expected error.[code]....
